While Hymn continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of MONO's music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of quiet-to-loud. The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has become MONO's strongest virtue - save for perhaps their uncanny ability to sound every bit like a plane crashing into a Beethoven concert. Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind. The music is naturally majestic, with MONO's trademark wall of noise crashing beautifully against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever enlisted.

The moment the album is released you’ll get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. digital album releases June 14, 2019. item ships out on or around June 13, 2019. Beautifully remastered from the original analog master tapes by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, this super deluxe reissue sounds, looks, and feels more pure and powerful than ever before.

In this case 'Hymn to the Immortal Wind' is Mono's most effective and affecting album to date. Previous albums (none of which I have any complaints for) all feel like a string of related but separate thoughts; whereas 'Hymn to the Immortal Wind' feels like one long complex thought, and because of this, like a movie which consists of several scenes which all contribute to a larger thought, the album lends itself to a cinematic interpretation  . I tried taking notes on each song.

Mono (stylised as MONO) is a Japanese instrumental band, formed in 1999 in Tokyo. Mono has released nine studio albums.

My buddies and I like to argue about music. This in itself is not particularly special; a couple of my friends like to tell me why Protest the Hero are the best thing ever and I ask them how random song constructions and beyond-irritating vocals make a band amazing and the debate flows. Now, I can hold my own when they talk about their rock and alternative bands, but on special occasions when post rock comes up, I get to let loose. The law of follow-up albums indicated that their next record, Hymn to the Immortal Wind, should either find the band trying to replicate the successes of You Are There with diminishing returns or explore a whole new direction. Instead, Mono ups the ante on everything.
